Spring Maintenance: Gutter Tips

pring Maintenance: Gutter Tips
Spring is a good time to examine your gutters and see if they
need to be cleaned. Here are some gutter cleaning tips.
General Tips
- Plan on inspecting your gutters twice a year in the spring and
fall. If your house is under any trees you may have clean gutters
more often.
- A small garden shovel works well for scooping debris out of
gutters.
- Make your own gutter shovel with a 1 liter plastic pop bottle.
Cut off the bottom of the bottle and half of the cylinder to make
a scoop.
- If your gutters sag the water will not flow properly. Remove
all debris and re-attach gutters.
- Use a hose with pressure nozzle to clean out clogged spouts.
- Use a plumber's snake for stubborn clogs.
- Patch leaks with outdoor caulk.
- If you are using an extension ladder place a 2x4 in the gutter
to help prevent it from bending under the pressure of you and the
ladder.
- Remove rust with a wire brush and steel wool. Clean well. Then
apply primer and paint to prevent future rusting.
Safety Tips
- Wear heavy work gloves to prevent slivers and cuts from
gutters.
- Use a sturdy ladder.
- Work with a buddy anytime you work in high places.
